The other, Police Major Somphopphong Chomphunak, was transferred to Nong Chok station. The two supervised traffic police officers at Bang Na station. They are being given the same positions at their new workplaces.The Metropolitan Police chief said he decided on the transfer after not one, but two video clips spread online showing traffic police officers from Bang Na station taking bribes.Police Senior Sergeant Major Niphon Sok-hai, the traffic policeman that appeared on the video clips posted on Youtube, has been slapped with a 'non-final expulsion' order, pending an investigation into his bribe-taking. -- NNT 2013-05-16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reMmMnXsEvs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good example of how the authorities don't care about corruption. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankold Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 And they don't have to wear a hello kitty armband for 1 month, merely a transfer to the same position elsewhere? Perhaps a crackdown on police discipline measures is required? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellweather Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Does a " non-final expulsion order " mean if it's proved he took bribes he won't be automatically dismissed far less prosecuted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chooka Posted May 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2013 The office of inactive posts must be bursting at the seams. If they try to shove one more in there it is going to burst flooding the streets with corrupt officers. Where I am from these guys would be sttod down without pay, be charged internally and criminally and then fired. (if found guilty in criminal court) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like it's just a warning to more discreet next time and additional training in corruption practices maybe required. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I am from these guys would be sttod down without pay, be charged internally and criminally and then fired. (if found guilty in criminal court) To be serious for a moment from what I can tell their pay does seem to be based on the idea that they will have to supplement it with bribes. If they want to stop it then there needs to be a basic change in this to a reasonable salary and strict adherence to rules. This is very much as you've described. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyDrinker Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just cough up...or would you rather they framed you and stung you for far more down the station for all your protests?

Bear in mind that at times 'doing something wrong' can merely be having white skin here... Don't sweat it... I don't protest and give my 200 baht donation. However that doesn't mean people should accept it. I think Thais are getting sick of it also but could not complain. It was pointless for them to go and report an officer to a station as they knew nothing would come of it and there was also the fear factor. Now Thais have found a better way and that is the social media where the officers and the Police force are being publical ashamed across the world. It has actually forced authorities to do something (as little as it may be). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drawback is though, when people can no longer get off with bunging the coppers a few hundred, and have to pay the full wallop, they'll be clamouring for a return to the current status quo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 These are full service BIB's...I like the part where the cop reaches into his pocket and gives the motorcycle guy change for the unwritten ticket....maybe there was a lunchtime 50% off promotion. I wonder if a person gets any frequent payer award points....I expect after a few years a person could build-up enough points to drive tea money free for a year.
